Cultivation method of potted Citrus

Temperature and light

Citrus is a southern fruit tree, which likes a warm and humid growth environment, and the suitable growth temperature is about 12-37 ℃. It is required to receive 4-6 hours of sunshine every day

Watering

Keep the basin soil moist and water thoroughly. It is better to have water seeping from the drainage hole at the bottom of the basin. At the same time, avoid ponding and drain water in time, otherwise it is easy to cause rotten roots

Fertilization

Adhere to the principle of "frequent application and thin application", apply rotten liquid fertilizer once before plant germination, and then apply liquid fertilizer every 7-10 or so, mainly nitrogen fertilizer, to promote its growth and produce more spring shoots. In the growth period of citrus, you can sprinkle some cake fertilizer on the basin to enhance fertility. After autumn, gradually reduce fertilization to avoid excess nutrition and fruit drop. Strictly control fertilization in autumn and winter

Soil
